Life Transitions Therapy In Toronto

Life transitions aren't always planned, desired, or easy. Whether we actively choose them or they’re forced upon us, adjusting to change can feel overwhelming and destabilizing. If your life has recently shifted, or is about to, you’re not alone if the change has you feeling uncertain, unsettled, or unsure of what comes next.

Examples of Life Transitions

Difficult life transitions can include:

The loss of a loved one
The end of a relationship
Career or employment changes
Becoming a parent or adjusting to parenthood
Relocation or change of residence
Adjusting to illness or injury

Sometimes life transitions can also bring on a sense of feeling stuck. This can show up as:

Realizing that your current path is different from what you’d envisioned
Changes in your priorities that leave your life direction feeling misaligned
Uncertainty about what you want out of your career, relationships, or future
Knowing where you’d like to be but holding yourself back
Feeling overwhelmed by the thought of taking action or making a change

How Therapy Can Help with Life Transitions

Life transitions can often lead to feeling overwhelmed, hopeless or powerless. Therapy provides a space where you can process these emotions, come to terms with new or changing circumstances, and begin regaining a sense of control, clarity and direction.

If you want change but are feeling stuck, therapy can provide an outlet for you to explore your aspirations, gain some clarity on what you really want and what truly matters to you, and develop strategies to help you overcome the fears that hold you back. It can also help you develop practical strategies for getting started and proceeding with confidence.
